do you have a small shop near you that sells things like candy, small items hand made. I know we have one and you can ask if they would display the items you made and they would sell and you give them a portion. Sort of like consignment. Also some furniture stores, (not large companies) display some items that other people have made for sale.
Otherwise, when there are craft shows, a county fair, anything such as this.
I think etsy is not such a good place.
The problem mostly is that people don't quite understand how much work and hours into what we do
